Billy Reid, 54 Bond Street:
Adding his own brand of Southern hospitality to Fashion’s Night Out, the Billy Reid store at the Bowery Lane Theater will keep its doors open late for an evening shopping event from 6pm-11pm. The store will serve beverages by Pabst Blue Ribbon and Woodford Reserve as customers are treated to a live performance by The Greg Spradlin Outfit. Known for his authentic and raw guitar playing style, Spradlin’s bluesy Southern rock is the perfect complement to an evening spent in the Billy Reid flagship store. Billy Reid himself will then join the band for a special performance to cap off the evening’s events.

Shipley & Halmos
Inspired by a summer spent navigating the newer, more safe bike lanes of New York City, Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos have mapped a bike trek tour of the major retailers that carry their brand in Manhattan and Brooklyn for Fashion’s Night Out on September 10. Staring out at downtown boutique, Pas de Deux, Sam and Jeff will participate in a forty minute styling session with customers, and then venture on a progressive bike tour to Barney’s CO-OP in Chelsea and Soho, Odin in Soho, and Bird in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to meet with shoppers and retailers as well as promote alternative forms of eco-conscious transportation. At Bird, Jeff and Sam will participate in a charitable dunk tank contest with Vena Cava at their block party contribution to Fashion’s Night Out. The bicycles will be courtesy of Bowery Lane Bicycles, a purveyor of vintage-inspired bicycles handmade in New York City with American steel, located at 55-59 Chrystie Street. Sam and Jeff will have beers in tow as they explore the many neighborhoods that make New York City a distinct destination for shopping.
